Ingredients
  

French Toast
  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk (whole, low-fat or skim)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 12 slices Texas toast OR french bread OR challah OR croissant halves
Whipped Pumpkin Butter
  • 1/2 cup salted or unsalted butter (1 stick), room temperature
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Set a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of butter and melt.
  2. In a rectangular baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. Dip the bread into the mixture, flip sides and then place on the hot skillet. Cook until each side is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Repeat with remaining ingredients, serve hot with whipped pumpkin butter, maple syrup and toasted chopped nuts (if desired).

Notes

You can use either maple syrup or honey for the whipped pumpkin butter. Maple syrup works well on pancakes, waffles, and French toast. Honey works well on rolls. Use whichever you prefer.
If you want sweeter French toast, add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the mixture.
